I hate to question this since you seem to know what you're doing, but is that a color of painters tape I've never seen or regular old masking tape?

 

That would be Regular Home Depot Masking Tape that im using.. no special Painters tape.. just put a couple layers of tape on the edges so paint wont go threw it.. i also tested it to make sure it would come off easily when all done painting so i knew it wouldnt rip paint off.. this will pretty much prove to everyone that has ever asked, *can you paint your chrome expecially bumpers and Outer grill* im actually really surprised with how easy that front bumper came off.. its just like maybe 8 huge bolts and a few little ones..

 

nice job man. cant wait to see it finished. makes me want to paint my bumpers

 

LOL, It don't take much to get you to wanting to do something to your rig does it Nick? BTW hows the tint coming? Oh and JJ looks like you got alot going there at one time, can't wait to see the end results

 

looks good! cant wait to see it all painted and put back together

 

Looking forward to the finished pics.

 

Im on my way over right now to start painting, Here comes the scariest part, im not gonna lie im pretty scared hah.. if i mess up one little bit thats 300 and sum dollars down the drain.. im hopeing ill get the painted pics up tonight.. but prolly wont put all the parts on till tuesday so i can let them dry properly and make sure nothins messed up.. maybe this will be some inspiration for some of you to just do all the painting yourselves.. tell you the truth without looking at silver and off road teacher doing there painting projects i wouldnt of decided to do all this.. so thanks guys for all the write ups and sh** they helped me out alot.. Next up after this im gonna paint my rims and handles.. then comes my System next check.. Woooooo im gonna be pimpin haha yea right
